Plus there are games still going, sadly they involve Boston and St Louis with Boston leading 3 games to 2.

In Japan the Yomiuri Giants are playing the Rakuten Golden Eagles for the title with Rakuten leading 2 games to 1. The Golden Eagles have Andruw Jones on their team (243/391/454) and Casey McGehee (292/376/515) and Brandon Duckworth (4.31 ERA in 87 2/3 IP). The big guy, Masahiro Tanaka, plays for the Golden Eagles and won game #2 (9 IP, 3 H 1 R/ER 3 BB 12 SO 1 HBP)

Yes, Rakuten owns that team. All of the teams in NPB are owned by companies and the company names are part of the team name. One famous example is Nippon Ham, who own the Fighters, not the Ham Fighters. Yomiuri Giants are basically the Yankees of Japan, so hope Rakuten wins instead.

Huh. Dickey was the only AL player to win a Gold Glove who doesn't play for the Royals, Orioles or Red Sox. Maybe we can teach R.A. to play second base on his off days? I bet he can hit as well as Izturis...

In all seriousness though, I can kind of see why Dickey won this award instead of Buehrle. Both are phenomenal defenders, but Dickey looks WAY more nonchalant fielding a ball out there. On a hard groundball hit to either of them, there's Buehrle setting himself up in perfect fielding position, glove and chest square to the ground. Dickey meanwhile just stabs at the ball with his glove, like an ice-hockey goaltender catching a slapshot going top-shelf.
